2 Chronicles 20:9 in Context — 2 Chronicles 20

7 N’est-ce pas toi, ô notre Dieu, qui as chassé les habitants de ce pays devant ton peuple d’Israël, et qui l’as donné pour toujours à la postérité d’Abraham qui t’aimait?

8 Ils l’ont habité, et ils t’y ont bâti un sanctuaire pour ton nom, en disant:

9 S’il nous survient quelque calamité, l’épée, le jugement, la peste ou la famine, nous nous présenterons devant cette maison et devant toi, car ton nom est dans cette maison, nous crierons à toi du sein de notre détresse, et tu exauceras et tu sauveras!

10 Maintenant voici, les fils d’Ammon et de Moab et ceux de la montagne de Séir, chez lesquels tu n’as pas permis à Israël d’entrer quand il venait du pays d’Égypte, car il s’est détourné d’eux et ne les a pas détruits,

11 les voici qui nous récompensent en venant nous chasser de ton héritage, dont tu nous as mis en possession.
